"Little monsters, I'm here." Dugu Bo descended from the sky in a boisterous manner.

"Hmm? You two..." Dugu Bo looked towards Tang San and Ye Chen. Usually, Ye Chen and Tang San would greet him when he arrived, but today there was no sound.

Dugu Bo now regarded Ye Chen and Tang San as friends, no longer disliking them as before.

Half a year had passed, and Dugu Bo's poison had been mostly dealt with. Of course, his old injury was still festering. It was easier said than done to recover on his own.

Tang San was sitting there, a bronze cauldron above the scorching hot spring, with faint purple smoke emanating from its lid.

Dugu Bo squatted down beside Tang San with some curiosity, "Little monster, what are you making now?"

Tang San placed his index finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture, and stared intently at the bronze cauldron.

Dugu Bo looked at the purple smoke in the cauldron with a puzzled expression, feeling somewhat curious.

"Success." Tang San suddenly jumped up, his eyes lit up.

"Little monster, what exactly is this thing?" Dugu Bo asked.

Tang San used over thirty strands of Blue Silver Grass to pull the bronze cauldron to the shore. After the cauldron had cooled, Tang San carefully opened its lid.

"I guarantee that even a Titled Douluo wouldn't survive three breaths if hit by this." Tang San poured three needles from the bronze cauldron into a pre-prepared small jade box.

"This is the Yan Wang Tie. Direct confrontation might not be able to break its defenses, but if it does, the power of the Yan Wang Tie will far exceed everyone's imagination. Of course, to use these three needles, I need to break through to Level Forty in my spirit power." Tang San looked at the meticulously crafted hidden weapon with surprise.

It was the Tang Sect's super hidden weapon, the Yan Wang Tie.

It was also Tang San's greatest trump card for survival right now.

"What is the Yan Wang Tie?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Yan Wang means God of Death. When the God of Death sends you an invitation, it's naturally to send you back to his embrace," Tang San said with a smile.

Even Tang San hadn't expected that he could refine the third-ranked super hidden weapon from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

Making the Yan Wang Tie was extremely difficult. Tang San used forty-nine types of herbs to complete it. Once it entered the human body, a severe poison would take effect.

To launch the Yan Wang Tie, one not only needed to choose the right moment but also expend a great deal of internal energy. Tang San had to wait until after Level Forty, and even then, all his internal energy combined would only be enough for one use.

"Is your Yan Wang Tie really as miraculous as you say?" Dugu Bo didn't believe that this little thing could kill a Titled Douluo.

"Of course," Tang San smiled slightly and put the Yan Wang Tie away.

Now, Dugu Bo's originally green hair had returned to the color of a normal person, and the poison backlash had almost disappeared.

However, some toxins still remained in Dugu Bo's body, making complete purification unlikely.

Dugu Bo's face lit up with joy. Since Tang San could cure his poison, he could also cure his granddaughter's poison.

"Where's Ye Chen? Still refining pills?" Dugu Bo asked.

"Brother Chen is refining a Sixth Grade Healing Pill. He's been at it for 123 days. Maybe today he'll succeed," Tang San said, full of confidence in Ye Chen.

If his King Yama's Poison Needle could be successfully refined, then perhaps Ye Chen's Sixth Grade Healing Pill could also be successfully refined.

"Let's go take a look." When Dugu Bo and Tang San arrived at where Ye Chen was refining pills, they couldn't help but stare in stunned silence.

After Ye Chen had been refining for 123 days, the air around the entire cave was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.

The fragrance permeated the air, and the entire cave entrance was filled with scorching heat.

The difficulty of refining a Sixth Grade Healing Pill was extremely high. Ye Chen used eighty-one types of immortal herbs, along with the Nine Spirits Begonia, just to barely begin refining the pill.

"That Ye Chen fellow, he already finished refining the Fifth Grade Healing Pill long ago, but he didn't give it to me. What is he tinkering with now, this Sixth Grade Healing Pill?" Dugu Bo snorted lightly.

"Old Monster, you also know that pills can't be eaten carelessly. How can a Fifth Grade Healing Pill be as potent as a Sixth Grade Healing Pill? If you keep eating pills, there will be side effects," Tang San said.

Pills certainly couldn't be eaten carelessly. Even Dugu Bo had to fully absorb the medicinal power of a pill before he could consume a higher-grade one.

The Sixth Grade Healing Pill used eighty-one immortal herbs. If an ordinary person were to casually swallow even one, it would take a very long time to fully refine and absorb it. If absorbed improperly, it could even be life-threatening.

The Fifth Grade Healing Pill also contained forty-nine types of herbs. If Dugu Bo ate it, it would take at least three months to completely absorb its medicinal power.

"Is the gap between the Sixth Grade Healing Pill and the Fifth Grade Healing Pill really that big?" Dugu Bo asked with a confused expression. In his eyes, they were just two small balls that could be eaten, and he saw no difference.

"Brother Chen only took a little over a month to refine the Fifth Grade Pill, but refining the Sixth Grade Pill has already reached its 123rd day today."

"Moreover, I can feel that Brother Chen has already reached his own limit in refining the Sixth Grade Pill," Tang San said seriously.

Inside the cave, Ye Chen was still refining the pill.

At this very moment, The refining of the Sixth Grade Healing Pill had reached the final critical stage.

The Sixth Grade Healing Pill not only possessed powerful healing abilities, but they far surpassed Ye Chen's current healing abilities from the Nine Spirits Begonia.

The pill was not restricted by soul power.

Furthermore... a pill refined from so many immortal herbs could also increase one's strength, and might even allow a Titled Douluo to break through their existing bottleneck.

Half a day quietly passed.

Dugu Bo and Tang San waited outside the cave entrance. They both knew that this was the most crucial moment.

Inside the medicinal cauldron, there was a red flame. Ye Chen's eyes were fixed on the cauldron, his gaze tense.

A moment later, A peculiar medicinal fragrance emanated from the medicine cauldron, filling the air.

This medicinal fragrance spread out, surging directly towards the entire Sunset Forest!

Countless spirit beasts sensed this fragrance, and many even became frenzied, wanting to consume this pill.

Dugu Bo and Tang San stared blankly at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had succeeded!

The peculiar medicinal fragrance erupted.

"A sixth-grade pill... it's really been refined successfully."

"Eighty-one herbs, one hundred and twenty-three days of effort, Brother Chen... you did it!" Tang San felt happy for Ye Chen.

He hadn't spent that much time refining the Yan Wang Tie either.

And Ye Chen's pill had taken more than four months!

Most of the time Ye Chen spent cultivating here was spent refining pills.

Now, a sixth-grade pill was born!

"Little monster, truly not an ordinary person." Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Chen's figure, feeling proud of him.

Dugu Bo also held some anticipation in his heart.

Ye Chen had once said that a sixth-grade pill could completely heal Dugu Bo's old injuries, and even potentially help him break through the bottleneck of Level Ninety-Two.

Ye Chen placed the pill in a jade bottle and walked out.

"More than four months, refining thirteen sixth-grade pills. It's still too difficult to refine this kind of pill," Ye Chen shook his head and sighed.

"Thirteen pills?" Tang San was stunned.

A sixth-grade pill was absolutely priceless.

Ye Chen had actually refined thirteen pills directly!

Tang San had only managed to produce three Yan Wang Tie pills despite all the effort and heart he had poured into them.

Ye Chen's pill refining skills were already perfected.

"Yes, thirteen pills." Ye Chen walked up to Tang San. He was a bit dirty all over, having stayed in the cave for a full four months.

After Ye Chen returned from bathing and changed into clean clothes, he held the pill in his hand and looked at Dugu Bo and Tang San.

"Xiao San, this kind of pill can only be taken by someone who is seriously injured. Otherwise, even I would have my body blown apart by its medicinal power."

"Old Monster is already a Titled Douluo. If he takes this pill, perhaps all the injuries within your body can be healed," Ye Chen said.

A Sixth Grade Healing Pill, unheard of and unseen. If news of such a miraculous healing medicine were to spread, it would be enough to attract the attention of countless forces on the continent.

Of course, Ye Chen could feel the medicinal power of the Sixth Grade Healing Pill. Even with the combination of eighty-one herbs, this healing pill still couldn't cure Tang Hao's injuries.

The serious injuries Tang Hao sustained couldn't heal on their own even in twenty years. After all, when he was young, he once fought against the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, single-handedly resisting several times his number of Titled Douluo from Martial Soul Hall.

That battle, where Tang Hao fought alone, was earth-shattering. Even with the full might of Martial Soul Hall, they couldn't keep Tang Hao.

To heal Tang Hao, Ye Chen would need to raise his own Soul Power Level again. Relying solely on pills wouldn't have much effect on Tang Hao anymore.

"Only thirteen pills? Aren't you going to offer them all to this old man?" Dugu Bo shamelessly extended his hand.

"You old monster, you'll eat yourself to death with so many pills. With your injuries, one pill is enough."

"Moreover, even if you are a Titled Douluo, after taking this pill, you won't be able to take any other tonics for three months, otherwise, it will have significant side effects on your body. All medicine has a degree of toxicity, and tonics are no exception." Ye Chen took out a pill and handed it to Dugu Bo.

"Haha, little monster, I am a Titled Douluo after all. Do you think I would rob you? But can this little ball of yours really heal my old injuries?"

"Even a high-level Healing Spirit Master might not be able to do it. Someone who can heal the injuries of a Titled Douluo must be at Soul Douluo or above. Otherwise, even with treatment, the effect won't be significant in a short period," Dugu Bo shook his head.

"You'll know if you try," Ye Chen smiled faintly.

How could he not know the terrifying power of the Sixth Grade Healing Pill, which he refined himself?

None of the current Shrek's Seven Devils could withstand such a pill.

Of course, none of them needed to take this kind of pill. Ye Chen's Nine Spirits Begonia's healing effects were already enough for Shrek's Seven Devils to recover their bodies.

Not to mention Oscar's Big Sausage, and Jiang Zhu was also a substitute student at Shrek Academy and a Healing Spirit Master.

"I can't just take your things for nothing. These two Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouches are for you. These are Soul Tools, and they can even hold living things inside." Dugu Bo gave the two treasures to Ye Chen and Tang San respectively.

Dugu Bo snorted, "Little monster, I promised you three things. The first is not to harm anyone from Shrek Academy, and the second is this Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch."

Tang San blinked and looked at Dugu Bo, "Old monster, it seemed like you offered to give it to me just now. I didn't ask you for it."

Dugu Bo: "..."

Dugu Bo was very angry but couldn't say anything. Tang San indeed hadn't asked him for it.

Tang San smiled slightly and brushed his hand across his waist. "Although the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch doesn't count as one of the conditions, I'll give you a gift too."

Tang San placed two small iron balls into Dugu Bo's hand.

Dugu Bo looked at the small iron balls and asked, "What is this? Can it be eaten?"

Tang San shook his head, "Didn't you see it's an iron ball? A treasure like this can save your life at a critical moment."

"It's also one of the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, the Mother-Son Soul Chasing Life Taking Pill," Tang San explained.

The Mother-Son Soul Chasing Life Taking Pill consisted of two small iron balls, and when these two small iron balls collided, they would truly become a life-taking hidden weapon.

"Although the Mother-Son Soul Chasing Life Taking Pill is not enough to harm a Titled Douluo, if you use it, its power will be even greater, and perhaps even a Titled Douluo will be injured by you."

After Dugu Bo heard this, he looked at the Mother-Son Soul Chasing Life Taking Pill in his hand and couldn't help but gasp.

Ye Chen and Tang San were simply monsters.

Ye Chen's healing pills and Tang San's hidden weapons were both priceless treasures on the continent.

"You two are truly geniuses, especially Ye Chen's healing pills."

"I'll take it here. You two help me guard me. I want to see if Ye Chen's healing pill can heal my injuries."

Dugu Bo did not hesitate and directly ate the pill Ye Chen gave him.

When he swallowed the Sixth Grade Healing Pill, Dugu Bo felt an incredibly pure medicinal power enter his body.

Dugu Bo's face instantly turned red.

He never expected that the medicinal effect of the pill refined by Ye Chen would be so immense.

The continuous medicinal power directly entered Dugu Bo's body, making him feel as if he was suffocating.

What kind of divine medicine was this? Even Dugu Bo could never have imagined that the medicinal effect of a Sixth Grade Healing Pill would be so potent.

All the meridians in his body were constantly being unblocked.

The injured meridians in his body were also being repaired bit by bit, and the old injuries accumulated over the years were all healing automatically.

As long as a spirit master engaged in combat, if not treated promptly, old injuries would form. As these old injuries accumulated, the spirit master's body would become increasingly unable to withstand it.

Dugu Bo circulated his spirit power throughout his body, and only then did he slowly calm down this immense medicinal power.

Dugu Bo discovered that all the injuries in his body were being repaired bit by bit.

It was too miraculous.

Dugu Bo could never have imagined that a single pill from Ye Chen would actually have such an effect.

Even a Healing Spirit Master could not heal his old injuries, but the pills refined by Ye Chen could.

Gradually, ten hours passed.

Dugu Bo sat on the ground, absorbing the medicinal power for a full ten hours!

Moreover, Dugu Bo felt... the bottleneck in his own body also completely loosened at this moment.

His meridians were unblocked, the medicinal power surged to his limbs and bones, his blood circulation accelerated, and immense soul power repeatedly impacted all of Dugu Bo's meridians.

Dugu Bo had been at Level Ninety-Two for a full fourteen years!

Fourteen years ago, Dugu Bo reached Level Ninety-Two, wanting to further increase his strength, but eventually, Dugu Bo's hair turned white. He was already Level Ninety-Two.

For a Titled Douluo, increasing by one level was too difficult.

Some people could never progress further in their entire lives.

Dugu Bo was such a person. He hadn't progressed further in fourteen years, remaining stuck at Level Ninety-Two.

Four years ago, Dugu Bo encountered Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo and was relentlessly pursued, nearly losing his life.

Dugu Bo's lifelong wish was to increase his strength and break through Level Ninety-Two.

All along, Dugu Bo had resigned himself to fate.

But today, he discovered... Ye Chen's medicinal power could help him break through the bottleneck to Level Ninety-Three!

Dugu Bo entered a wondrous state.

His body felt as if it had become light and airy, and immense soul power surged forth.

Dugu Bo's strength had improved!

He had entered Level Ninety-Three, and all the meridians in his body would no longer be blocked.

Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo, the world-renowned Poison Douluo, had officially broken through to Level Ninety-Three today!

Boom, boom, boom.

The moment Dugu Bo stood up, powerful soul power erupted from his body, and green light shone brilliantly and dazzlingly.

Dugu Bo's eyes held deep shock and surprise.

What he couldn't achieve in fourteen years, he had accomplished today because of Ye Chen's pill!

From this day forward, Dugu Bo was a Level Ninety-Three Titled Douluo.

"Hahaha... I never expected that one day I, Dugu Bo, could also reach Level Ninety-Three. My current strength is more than double what it was before!"

"My entire soul power has more than doubled, and all my injuries, all the accumulated toxins within my body over the years, have also been completely resolved."

"Little monster... Without you, I would never have been able to break through to level ninety-three in my life," Dugu Bo walked up to Ye Chen.

He was filled with excitement and gratitude.

After reaching level ninety-three, Dugu Bo was confident that even if he was still no match for Chrysanthemum Douluo, he wouldn't be utterly defeated.

Ye Chen had almost changed the destiny of Dugu Bo's entire life!

Dugu Bo's pursuit of the martial path had been rekindled with confidence.

"Old monster, my Healing Pills are primarily for healing. You were able to break through to level ninety-three because of your daily cultivation over the years, like water dripping through stone. There are no eternal bottlenecks, only Spirit Masters who don't work hard."

"As long as you keep cultivating, it will eventually pay off. My Healing Pills only played an auxiliary role."

"If you continue to cultivate diligently, I can guarantee that you can reach level ninety-four, level ninety-five... in the future..."

Ye Chen looked at Dugu Bo's figure, a smile on his face.

Being brought here by Dugu Bo for training, Ye Chen's spirit power had also greatly improved.

Moreover, using the medicinal herbs here, Ye Chen had also refined many Healing Pills.

The reason Ye Chen and Tang San could come this far was also due to Dugu Bo's existence.

"Hahaha, today is the happiest day of my life! My poison is completely cured, and I've reached level ninety-three. It would be even better if I could also cure Yan Yan's poison next."

"Little monsters, I owe you a great debt. If you ever need help in the future, just call me anytime."

"Oh, right, asking me to act isn't free. You guys better prepare a hundred or so of those little iron balls and pills for me, hehe. Even if you can't eat them all at once, you can eat them slowly." Dugu Bo said with a smile, not forgetting to con Ye Chen and Tang San one last time.

Ye Chen and Tang San exchanged helpless glances. They were quite moved by the first two sentences, but hearing the last one left them speechless.

Are Titled Douluo all this stingy?

"You can leave now too. Go back to Shrek Academy," Dugu Bo waved his hand, his expression appearing a bit lonely.

Despite being a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo had very few friends.

After all, Dugu Bo was naturally arrogant and had a solitary, aloof personality. Ye Chen and Tang San were Dugu Bo's friends, and after half a year of constant companionship, the three had gradually become friends, more like friends between elders and juniors.

There are no feasts that last forever. This past half-year had been Dugu Bo's happiest time. All gatherings must eventually end, and separation is inevitable.

"Old monster, do you want us to leave that badly?" Tang San asked.

Dugu Bo said calmly, "Do you think I can keep you here for a lifetime? Your talent far exceeds my imagination, and your future should not be here."

"Without sufficient training, how can you become Titled Douluo? How can you be stronger than other Titled Douluo?" Dugu Bo said.

On the Douluo Continent, very few people could become Titled Douluo, but Dugu Bo firmly believed that both Ye Chen and Tang San could become Titled Douluo.

Even if Dugu Bo didn't want to admit it, he had to concede that in certain aspects, he truly couldn't compare to Ye Chen and Tang San.

If it weren't for his advanced age, the three of them might even have become brothers.

"Also, Ye Chen, your Sixth Grade Healing Pill is too monstrous. It's best not to let others know about it."

"Especially if the people from Martial Soul Hall find out you have such potent pills, they might capture you for research," Dugu Bo said with a laugh.

Even ordinary healing pills had a vast market on the continent.

On Douluo Continent, besides Spirit Masters, there were far more common folk. The medical industry here was not developed. When living in the martial world, battles could break out at any moment.

Healing Spirit Masters were already very rare on the continent. Even if there were any, they were recruited by major families and sects with high prices.

More people couldn't afford healing pills. After getting injured, they could only use some herbs for treatment, or find expensive Healing Spirit Masters for help, which was inconvenient.

But healing pills could be used by anyone. If they were released on the continent, what kind of storm would they cause?

No one could predict it. Healing pills were almost a necessity on the continent, with a vast market.

And the only one who could make healing pills was Ye Chen.

"Old Monster, don't worry."

"Not just anyone can use Sixth Grade pills. Xiao San and I have been cultivating here for half a year. The All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin, and we should prepare to head back."

"I haven't seen Rongrong in a long time either," Ye Chen said with a slight smile, thinking of that stunning girl and feeling a lot of longing in his heart.

He had left without saying goodbye half a year ago.

Now, it was time to see her!
